Question about Fated (Destined Bloodline):

[Dema_89]

Hello, i've a question about the sentences from the core book that states:

"Starting at 3rd level, you gain a +1 luck bonus
on all of your saving throws and to your AC during surprise
rounds (see Chapter 8) and when you are otherwise unaware
of an attack."

Carpy DM wrote:

The wording is ambiguous as to when the bonus to saves applies.

Should the Fated power be read as:

"During surprise rounds and when you are unaware of an attack, you gain a luck bonus to your saves and to your AC"

or as:

"you gain a luck bonus to your saves and, during surprise rounds or when you are unaware of an attack, to your AC"?

Thanks

I'd say the first one.

[Dema_89]

Ok. Thanks a lot.

You are allowed a sugary lollypop and a sugary drink on Mondays and Wednesdays.

You can have a +1 luck bonus to X and Y when A and when B.

You gain a +1 luck bonus to saves and AC during surprise rounds and against invisible stuff you can't see.

Just read the sentence linearly. Don't insert commas or pauses.

The first reading is the correct one. As Anguish said it reads fine as long as you don't add any pauses where they don't belong.
